cheap construction. v y

With these and other objects in view, as

` hereinafter appear, the invention consists in certain novel and peculiar' features of constructionand organization, and in order that `it` may be fully understood reference is to ythe accompanying drawings, in

Referring now tothe drawings in detail, indicates the base, '2 the casing, ann 3 'the 35 shell, of a hot-air furnace of the usuai'or preferred type.

Assuming that "the parts are assembled M ilo-5 shown .and described, the 'attendant Afirst f opens door '7 and pours a quantity of oil into that I have produced a crude-011 burner loI ' .ing .oil in the downward V forming la Vcombustible gas the conica oil-pi Thehood can then be engagedl by a poker or 5s' From thel above description it will be seen the pan l10 and ignites such oil so that as it b'urns, the doorbeing, of course, reclosed, theflames and other products of combustion im- I which is obviously'susceptible of modiiication in minor particulars-rior instance, to adapt it for .use upon s tovesof various kinds.

valve 28 to permit oil to liow through pipe 27 and drop down t'hrough the opening 19 onto theV apex of conical plate 15, which dlvides the l oil and causes it to low outward thereon in different directions and eventually, if not converted into vapor by the heat of said l plate, .drop down on the highly-heated plate 12, which instantly converts it into vapor, which takes Afire from the flame of the burn# pan, it being understood that such vapor mixes with the oxygen of the air drawn. into the furnace through the air-tube, the draft from the. furnace-chimney (not shown) -causing the air to enter the mouth 23 of-theair-tube and be forcefully discharged therefrom' upon the conical plate. As a result the air becomes thoroughly intermixed with the vapor of the oil, the mixture which burns ortion of the flame passing under plate and down through thehole-or opening-13, where it turns outward and mixes with the balanceof the flame which passes from the hood down through theslots formed by and between the hood and the plate, the entire Ivolume of flame then passinf down under the'loweredge of the :hood and eating thesame, 4so that it shall co erate with the vaporizing-plates pro erin efiecting theNapl cniaingV function. Aliter l passing und er and outward ofthe hood the flame and. other products of combustion .travel upward and esca e from the furnace in the usual manner. The; eat.. thus ener'ated heats theair in the casing, from lw 'ence'.it asses to the apartments to be heated, andp I Ihave found from j 1. A crude-oil burner comprising -a casing, an imperforate an therein, a vaporizingplate supported y said pan at' a distance above the same, a hood extending .over said plate and having its lower edge below the ing air into said hoodl through the top of the same, and means for discharging oil -upon said late. l
